My first priority is to create an environment that is as comfortable as possible for every client, and to aid the connection between us. Given the discomfort that often accompanies the therapeutic process (or any change, for that matter), it is important to me that this is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and mutually understood and agreed-upon goals.

I invite feedback so I can be made aware if there is any way I can better assist the movement towards those goals.

I recognize that therapy can elicit a range of emotions in the context of discussing distressing topics or potentially feeling confronted by some realizations within appointments, and it is important to me that we end the session in a way that helps clients integrate back into their daily lives between sessions. I have many ideas of what this can look like, and, together, we will determine what best serves this piece for you (and can even try multiple different things to see what helps, which simultaneously helps build your coping toolkit). 

You can expect to be respected and accepted for your authentic self. You can expect that I will always hold space for your experience, and strive to truly hear and understand your perspective and concerns.
